Small groups waving the national flag and blowing vuvuzela trumpets strolled into the stadium on a chilly morning, after going through a security check point and ticket inspection.

South Africa is witnessing a historic moment, I am looking forward to the game in the afternoon," said Tshepo Sehole who travelled overnight from the eastern province of Mpumalanga. A police helicopter hovered above the 94,700-seat stadium, covered in clay-coloured panels to resemble an African calabash pot.

The draft, developed by the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), and the General Department of Sports and Physical Training, targets that the Vietnam's national men football team will be in the Asian top-ten by 2020, and grab a ticket to compete at the world's largest football tournament in 2030.
The developers are collecting feedback from football insiders and other relevant ministries and agencies, before submitting the final plan to seek government approval.
